Mark, you came into my life because you made my mother so happy, and made us all happy with the way you were.

I wish we had more time together but the time we did have was special to all of us.

The boys loved spending time with you and you gave them so much too.

We will miss you everyday.


I am glad there is no more pain as you didn't deserve that pain. Cancer sucks!

Tony, Samantha, Matthew and Kaden. x

We travelled together through life for 24 years. In that time we had 4 homes, 4 businesses, 3 children and welcomed our first grand daughter. We shared good times, bad times, happy times and sad times. We grew as a couple and as individuals , our lives will be forever entwined through our children, sleep well, enjoy the fishing, Claire

We love you always.

Mark, you captured my heart with your share determination and passion for life, and I have been privileged to see the many sides of you.

You had to leave this life too soon, and have left a huge hole in my heart, but you have filled my life with so many wonderful memories that I will cherish forever.

You could not give this life more time, so you gave the time you had left MORE LIFE!

Wherever you are - keep dancing!

I thank you for choosing me as your wife.
